Most people just put themselves out there and see if others want to pos-bang you, but if you like sitting alone at your computer pos-baning yourself instead then more power to you. But it is still frowned upon.

Meh, although Demens is good, he only started like what, half the games last year? (I can't remember, no snark intended) Woolkfolk battled back from a horrendous injury and by all accounts in in tremendous shape and is doing really well. We need a captain from the secondary IMO, be it Kovacs or Woolfolk.

A lot of people would also suggest a captain for the "3rd side" of the ball, the special teams. It is a good way to get effort on STs, by acknowledging their significance to the game as a whole. At least, a lot of the NFL programs use the three captain system. Not sure who we'd use as our captain from the STs, just pointing it out . . . . .

I agree that Denard can be captain next year. The honor should really go to seniors. I also like the idea of one per side, but I don't think it's always applicable. I think you just go with the seniors that show great leadership. Molk, Martin, and TWoolf would get my vote.

1) Q Who?: Guinan advised Picard and the ship how best to deal with the Borg. Upon seeing the first Cube on her monitor, Guinan warned Picard to be careful, or the Borg would destroy them. Guinan's race had already been all but exterminated by the Borg and she had first-hand experience with them.

Whoopi also helped advise the Captain, and Riker, in The Best of Both Worlds, parts I and II, when the Borg were attacking Earth directly.

2) Yesterday's Enterprise: Only Guinan was aware of the space-time continuum shift and advised Picard to send the Enterprise-C back through the temporal rift, restoring the normal flow of events. In the alternate timeline, humanity was losing a 20-year-long war with the Klingon Empire and one more ship would not have made a difference in the balance.

How about John McColgan? I know he isn't the most talented or most talked-about player, but he seems like a stand-up kid and seems to be well-respected.

I think Denard is an obvious choice, both from his on-field performance, but also because he has garnered the respect of his teammates. I think almost every single person (players and coaches) that has been asked about Denard in an interview has spoken to his leadership, hard work, and dedication to the team. On-field performace aside, that right there is enough to be captain IMO.

Mark Martin also seems like a pretty obvious choice. Again, on-field performance aside, he's a guy a lot of people talk about as a vocal leader and a hard worker. It seems that he has earned the respect of his teammates and I would be surprised if he is not voted as a captain.

I think Worlfalk could be another choice. Kovacs is also someone you hear mentioned a lot as a hard worker and he seems to be emerging as a leader.

My main point in all of this is that the captain isn't necessarily going to be someone who is the best player, which makes it hard for us to really guess. Unless we hear stuff from interviews, we don't really see who takes the initiative in the locker room and on the field, and it's those things that the players recognize and respect.
